Celebrate Filipino Creativity and Artistry at the Filipino Design Studio
Filipinos have been known for their creativity and artistry. They have always found ways to express themselves through art, from making traditional Filipino decorations through carving, weaving, and pottery-making to the more modern forms of painting, sculpture, and filmmaking.
Today, Filipino artists and craftspeople continue to celebrate their country's rich culture and history through their work. Their arts and crafts provide a unique perspective on the Filipino experience in an increasingly globalized world.
This September, Kultura features local talents and crafts at the Filipino Design Studio, its collective space at the Podium. The display aims to raise awareness and celebrate Filipino creativity and artistry. Here, you can find proudly-Pinoy products, from Philippine native decors to fashion accessories to traditional everyday items.
